July 2021. Southwest Arizona, close to Tucson. In an office trailer, Mike finds Brad, a fellow engineer, lying in his own blood. Minutes later, Mike's daughter Jean listens in when their boss Sarah says Cactex, the developer, is worried about media attention. Legal action and protests could cause very costly delays. Only the engineers are supposed to understand the purpose of all the laser-guided drills, saws, and pneumatic chisels hidden behind 30 stories of scaffolding and tarps. Jean finds an illustration of a statue: 70-foot faces of Andrew Jackson, Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump will gaze down over a vast hotel resort complex.
Jean and Jenny are engineering students from Glendale, California. They were undecided on election day and they debate whether Trump truly deserves to be among these four presidents. Everyone is surprised when Jenny is arrested for Brad's murder. She’s too scared to act, but Jean is too angry not to. But there’s a problem. The person that Jean and Jenny suspect is overheard talking about the need for an additional death. But even that won’t stop Jean, and it’ll take romance and gunfire to lead the listener to the explosive last chapter.
